Lot #818 - 1946 NGC MS-66+ Star
Quarter Dollars-Washington
Sandra Wilson Algiers Estate. Sandra Wilson Algiers Collection. Exceptional eye-appeal instantly garners a "star" from NGC -- most appropriate for a common quarter with such uncommon ruby-green, shimmering turquoise and magenta hues. A few hairline abrasions streak across Washington's hair, made virtually invisible by the decades-in-the-making patina.

Lot #175 - 1882 $50 Brown Back - Chicago, IL Charter #5106 - PMG VF-30
Hammer: $4,000
US Currency-National Bank Notes
The Corn Exchange National Bank of Chicago, Illinois. Evenly circulated and complete, and boasting large, fully legible penned signatures. This $50 brownback makes an outstanding choice for representation of a very difficult type and denomination combination, and it may be a little surprising it did not earn an EPQ designation. Considerable eye-appeal, especially for a Friedberg number far more often found in low grade.

Lot #306 - Native American Unsigned Squash Blossom
Hammer: $475
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970, this sterling silver (tested, not marked) and turquoise squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 6-stone Naja at the bottom. The turquoise used in the making appears to be from the Cripple Creek mine. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Unsigned piece so tribal affiliation is unknown. Length 23”, 5.31 troy ounces.
